Immigration Blog Oct 9, 2023

Due to the Israel-Hamas war, most airlines have canceled services to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport. It is expected that government agencies will temporarily encounter staffing shortages, resulting in delays in the processing of work permits and visa applications. As the situation in Israel continues to be unpredictable, individuals should follow local government advice to increase their security awareness and remain safe. The U.S. Embassy has stated that mortar and rocket fire may take place without warning.

U.S. citizens in Israel who need assistance should contact the closest U.S. embassy or consulate using this crisis intake form.

For U.S. citizens who are in Israel with a work permit from Israel, the Israeli government is extending all valid work visas until November 9, 2023.

For those foreign nationals who are outside of Israel and have visa appointments in Tel Aviv, please contact immigration counsel for other options and solutions. For U.S. citizens seeking extension of Israeli work visas, Israel has allowed extension for those in the country.

Most airlines canceled services to and from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, with services for most airlines expected to remain canceled for the foreseeable future. El Al, the Israeli flag carrier, continues to operate many flights priority for military reservists returning to Israel.
